I like F-Droid, but does anyone else find that the versions in their repos often lag behind the current release (sometimes significantly so)?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

Yes, that's expected due to the way F-droid works. Check the build system to see the status.

Yeah it's pretty normal for them to lag a couple days behind

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

Couple of days, or even a week or two is fine, it's when they are months behind it can become a problem.

I wish they had a way to expedite security updates.
